====== Upload Screenshots ======

Before uploading screenshots make sure that they resized to 550 pixels or less.

Upload Screenshots using "**Media Manager**" found in the upper right header menu.
The Media Manager Menu will appear.

{{opencpn:dev:media-manager.png}}

See [[opencpn:edit_user_manual:file_structure|File Structure]]
First Pick the appropriate Media directory (for one of the four books):

<code> 
"Book" Namespaces for IMAGE Files only
---------------------------------
opencpn:manual    <--Opencpn User Manual
opencpn:software  <--Supplementary Software
opencpn:hardware  <--Supplementary Hardware
opencpn:dev       <--Developer Manual

Namespaces for Upload/Download Links only
-------------------------------------------
opencpn:files     <--NOT to be used for Image files.
opencpn:files:charts <--chart files for illustration purposes only!
opencpn:files:chartsymbols <--chart symbol files
opencpn:files:icons  <--icon files
opencpn:files:layers <--layer files
opencpn:files:palettes <--vector palette files
opencpn:files:tools  <--scripts and programs
</code>

Let the Media Manager load the files in that directory.
Then select "**Upload Tab**"

{{:opencpn:dev:media-upload-screenshot.jpg?500|}}

Then select "**Select Files**" and browse to the files you'd like to upload.

Select the files and then "**Upload**"

==== Creating the links ====
When referencing these Media files in text content, using DW Edit,
Don't forget that both Media types (screenshots or images AND download links) use this form:

%%{{opencpn:(namespace1):(namespace2-option):(filename.ext)|Alternative Text}}%%
